Lot Taken Captive (14:1-12) Lot's misfortune was due to his selfishness In choosing the best Thnd regardless of the moral risks in ids associations (13:10, 11). The Jordan valley was very fertile, but a place of moral snares because Sodom was there. Frequently fine pasture for cattle contains . poisonous growths. Lot’s trouble was not primarily be cause lie was a had man, hut because of his associations. The steps taken by Lot as shown in chapter 13 were: 1. He lifted up his eyes and beheld (v, 10). 2. He chose him all the plain (v. 11). 3. He dwelt in the cities of the plain (V. 12). ' 4. He pitched his tent toward Sodom (v. 12). . r >. He dwelt In Sodom (14:12). C. He sat In Hie Rate of Sodom (19:1). II. Abraham Rescues Lot (13-16). 1. News brought to Abraham (v. 13). Abraham was in a place of safety. \Just why the man who hud escaped eftme to Abraham with the news we do hot know. Perhaps I.ot had re quested, him to tell Abraham of Ids misfortufie. making known the fact of ids kinship nnd through him ap pending for help. x 2. Abraham in pursuit (vv. 14, IK). Abraham, the gepudwarted, forgot loot's selfishness and ingratitude, or ganized Jii? servants and by a night attack defeated the encifcy. Abra ham might Just have, left Lot to ids fate, but because Lot was his brother he forgot Ids wrongs. 3. Lot rescued (v. 16). Not only was Lot saved, hut the women and his goods were rescued. Because Abraham was separate from Sodom lie was able to save Ids brother. The one who is separate from the world lias power to overcome it. while the one who is Joined to the world is helpless and is carried away with Its ruin. III. The Ministry of Melchizedek (vv. 17-20). Melchizedek, a mysterious person, suddenly appears on the scene. His name signifies "king of righteousness." He was also king of Salem. Salem means peace. The name is descriptive of his office, rather than a proper name. He is a type of Chris*. The following features are auggested by A. T. Pierson: 1. He represents a primitive uni versal faith, antedating, outranking and surviving the Levltical. IfHe was the priest of the Most High God—a more comprehensive name than Jehovah. 3. His order of priesthood was not local or temporary, but universal and permanent. 4. He outranked even Abraham, who paid him tithes as to a superior. f>. He was prophet, priest and king —all In one, a sort of threefold per sonage. 6. He was not reckoned according to human genealogy nor limited course of service. 7. He was both king of righteous ness and king of peace. Righteous ness pertains to the name of the na tion and pence, to the realm. Abra ham gave tithes to Melchizedek. and this was the standard of giving in the Old Testament, but. th© New Testament puts giving on a higher plane. ItrT Corinthians 16:1 the be liever is instructed to give as the Lord prospers. IV. Abraham and the King of Sodom (21-24). • / ^ The king of Sodom offered Abra ham reward. Abraham was quick to discern hit peril in receiving gifts , from h\m. He knew that what be had do^e was through the grace of Ood upon him. He wrould not use this grace for private gain, would not complicste himself with the world for the sake of money. He anticipated this temptation and h«d covenanted with God not to yield to It (vv. 22-23). Ministers and evangelists have made grievous mistakes In receiving and even seeking financial help from god less people. The God who Is posses sor of heaven and earth does not need the help of the worltL The world must not havo opportunity to boast. trA i i-;- % MX;" & COLE. Inc. 94102 Faneuil Halmarket BOSTON, MASS.
